Our Responsibilities
The Town Council has an overall responsibility for the wellbeing of our residents and to protecting their quality of life, environment and economic well-being. We campaign on local issues and lobby other agencies to take action to protect the interests of our community.
Other responsibilities consist of maintenance of land owned by the Council including public parks, open spaces, hedge & grass cutting and litter bin emptying in these areas, the war memorial, street furniture and maintaining the public notice boards.
